Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed. August 17, 1906. Serial No. 331,046.

To all whom it may concern: a

Be it known that I, FORREST ADnIToN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Flowery Branch, in the county of Hall and State of Georgia,have invented a new and useful Improvement in a Folding Safe, of

which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a folding knock down'safe or cupboard and theobject of the invention is an article of furniture of this kind whichcan be knocked down or folded.

for convenience in shipment.

The invention consists of the novel features of construction hereinafterfully set forth, pointed out in the claims and shown in the accompanyingdrawings, in which,

Figure,1 is a pers ective view of my safe. Fig. 2 is a view of t e safepartially folded. Fig. 3 is a view of the safe folded. Fig. 4 is anenlarged sectional view through a portion of the folded safe. Fig. 5 isa vertical section through the safe set up ready for use. Fig. 6 is aplan view with the top removed. Fig. 7 is an inverted perspective viewof the top., Fig. 8 is a section on the line 8-8 of Fi 5'.

in constructing my safe I form the ends A in two vertical sectionshinged together as shown at A. The hinges A are upon the outside of thesafe and the ends Aare hinged upon the inside by hinges B to the backand front of the safe respectively.

The safe is provided with removable shelves D, and front doors C and thedrawer C. The shelves D and the guide ways for" the drawer C may besecured in place by an of the many common means ofsecuringsuc devices.The top E is provided upon its under face with a rib E and u on itsfront marginal portion with a short rib E spaced from the rib E. Whenthe to is in place the rib E which extends aroun three sides of the topfits over the front and ends of the safe and the u per front edge alsorests between the rib and the adjacent art of the rib E When the safe isto be s ip ed the 'ends can'be folded inwardly upon eac other as shownin Figs. 2, 3 and 4 thus making a very compact package and when set upin use the top E, shelves and drawer will serve to lock the ends A intheir normal position and make the entire device rigid.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is

A folding safe consisting of a back formed in one piece, sides, eachside being formed in two pieces, and hinged to fall inwardly upon theback and upon themselves, a front formed in one piece and bin ed to thesides, said front being cut out at t e top and bottom, and cut outtransversely across its center, doors hinged in the top and bottom cutout portions, and a drawer adapted to slide through the central cut outportion.
